Sweet Friday - Lilly Pulitzer

This time of year always reminds me of Lilly Pulitzer...

Colorful...carefree yet put together...celebrating...

Lilly also has a great motto...

I'd love to decorate my office in Lilly...especially now that she has a furniture line...

So here's to Lilly...

Cheers and Happy Weekend!

Apple Of My Eye Party

I spied this apple party last week over at Celebrations at Home...

but I haven't been able to get it out of my mind...

It is executed perfectly...every little detail utterly A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...
Jenny from Bloom Design Online is one talented lady...

Won't you join me as we take a closer look and admire all the spectacular eyecandy...
Let's start with this striped apple stand...
and this fabric bunting...
the polka buckets with granny smith apples...
sigh...

A pink & green apple orchard...
I'm already sold!

Look at these candy apples...
Have you ever seen anything quite so precious?

These cakepops and cupcakes are darling...
I really like how she used mini cookies as toppers...
(Note to self...remember the cookies as toppers)

Candies...popcorn and pies...oh my!

You had me at "mason jar"...

Love the check print she used to cover the juice box...
and then paired with the stripey straws...
Perfection...

Seriously...every little detail is addressed...

As if the above wasn't enough...let's continue to my favorite part...
Prepare yourself...
The table...

Look at this presentation...

and the way she has it waiting for the girls on the back of their chairs in the bushels...

A perfect activity to keep the girls entertained...
 Making their own apple pie...
in these sweetly topped jars...

The goody bags snugged in this big wire basket waiting for their recipients...

See...aren't you so glad that you joined me?  
Doesn't this inspire you to go out and create more beauty of your own?
Perhaps you'd like to continue this trip over at her blog...Bloom Design Online...
There is more inspiration waiting for you...
Have fun!

Spring Break At The Beach

The family and I have been enjoying a fabulous and relaxing time over here at the beach...

Seriously...this has been my motto...

Boating to one of our favorite islands...3 Rooker...
Daughter & doggie splashing around...
Swimming in the ocean...

A few cocktails here and there...

Just being...
Is there anything better?  I think not!

Sweet Friday - AOPi Sorority Cookies

A fellow teacher asked if I would make cookies for her daughter

who is getting initiated into AOPi this weekend...

Of course!

She wanted the AOPi rose emblem

and something that said AOPi...

Happy initiation!  

I can still remember my initiation into ADPi...what a special time!

Enjoy!

Logo Design Cookies

Pamela from P.S. Make It Your Own is having a social media gathering...

and was asking for contributors for the event...

(You might remember her from Party Starters)...

I immediately contacted her and said I would help...

what better way to get your name out there right?!

She asked if I could use their logo theme of the evening on the cookies...

So this is what I came up with...

She posted this pic on Facebook when she got them...

I hope you all have a fabulous time!
Thank you for letting Sweet Goosie Girl be a part of your gathering!

Airplane Cookies

I just sent 3 dozen of these pretties out as favors for a baby shower...

Sweet little things aren't they...

Can't you see a baby boy's room done in these colors
with airplane accents...

I think I'd like to try these in a bomber brown & navy color...
Tell me that wouldn't be sharp...
I'll add it to my idea list...
